Hey There,

I've got an almost identical setup to you, Johnny Sixpack (except I have PC-cillin, not Norton). Like everyone else I've been labouring through all the posts trying pretty much everything on this thread without much luck until I tried something someone mentioned somewhere back there (sorry, I can't credit whoever it was!)!!!

I changed the port # in Tools - Options - Advanced - Firewall to 44093 (seemed like a nice enough number), hit connect, and lo & behold, I've been connected for at least 10 minutes now (I think this may be a record!!!).

I don't know if this post is a little premature but hey, it seems to be worth a try.

Good Luck everyone.

-Erica
